D and N subjects of groups 1, 2 and 5 differed significantly (p<0.05) from CG matched for foot morphology. Most of all D subjects in groups 1 and 2 were significantly more likely to display lower triplanar foot subsegments range of motion (especially in midfoot-forefoot dorsi-plantarflexion angle) and higher peak PP mainly in correspondence of the forefoot.
